No bathrooms in Skyrim? : V

» Wed Dec 14, 2011 12:40 pm

How could you forget about this Bethesda? I can't keep playing anymore, it hurts immersion!

I'm role playing my character and after all that excitement with the execution, the dragon and all the running around, I really had to go... but there's no bathrooms in Riverwood! Not in the inn, not in people's houses, anywhere! So I had to run around behind some bushes, sneaking and making sure no one's seeing me. Now, I'm 120 hours in, this is a big problem especially in cities like Solitude where I basically have to leave the city every few hours because of this oversight!

Please, fix this in the next patch.

Yes, the lack of bathrooms is clearly the biggest problem with Skyrim.

buckets

The good people of Skyrim probably use chamber pots. Just...don't think too hard about where they dump their pots out. Especially when you're in Riften.

Even Zelda has bathrooms. You're saying Zelda is more realistic than Skyrim?

Actually there's buckets in just about every house, not to mention most of the forts and dungeons. Some of the buckets are even placed on the ground with a wooden floor surrounding them, or a wooden wall providing cover.

I guess water plumbing doesn't work very well because it's so cold.

What do think all the buckets lying around are for? Nords are pretty much cavemen with swords and arrows in the knees.

I know right? Total immersion killer.

Just like when I was climbing up the steps to High Hrothgar. It was snowing like crazy, and I figured the high altitude would make it even worse...but for some reason I didn't feel at all cold. The thermometer in the hallway was still reading 70 degrees fahrenheit.

Hopefully they fix this in the next patch, otherwise this game svcks.

It will be a feature implemented in the next version of Fallout in hardcoe Mode first. Not only will you have to eat, sleep, and drink but you will also have to clip a deuce so you do not die from sepsis or a bladder infection. You will also need to carry some form of TP or risk using radioactive leaves.

You have buckets, rolls of paper and bushes and trees. What else do you need?

It's not like there is any running water or sewer systems to hook plumbing up to, so where would a toilet be put? People in our world did not have toliets until well into the industrial revolution, and even then they were more a novelty at first than something one would expect.

You know all those pots and buckets you can steal? Yeah.

Better than that time I couldn't find any leaves and had to use a pine cone....

Man I couldn't sit right for a week!

I often see little enclosed spaces in dungeons with a little hole with a bucket, or just a bucket, which is clearly a medieval bathroom. But in the average house there doens't seem to be much in terms of bathrooms.

I roleplay, but I do not roleplay my character using the restroom...

buckets

Here's the answer, we still used buckets until modern Plummbing came about from America(greatest country ever) but until the 1950s or so not many houses had this stuff so I hope nord barbarians didn't have advanced plumbing in this type of game

Went into one fort or dungeon and there was three stalls with a high chair and a bucket, one had a book resting on the low wall separating the stalls.

Well I knew what that was the moment I saw it; I wanted a proper WC so I still haven't gone...

That is because no houses had bathrooms back then. You had a pot in the corner, called a Chamber Pot and that is what you used. Yes, the Night Soil sat in the bucket all night until you threw it out the window in the morning. Hopefully, the town you lived in had a service where someone would come by and collect the stuff so you would not have to walk through it on the way to work.

I don't know what to think here.

Would the troll threads be more or less obnoxious if they were better informed? Is it really a troll if they are informed? Or is the ignorance the entire point?

Even the Capital Wasteland had outhouses and filthy restrooms.

Swimming through the ice in the north oceans better. I was kind of surprised that didn't hurt, figured that would be the proverbial "invisible wall".
